Margie Bush established a small antique shop on upper Magazine Street in 1969. Joined by her daughter, Allain, in 1979, the business expanded and moved to the heart of historic Magazine Row, a section known for its many art and antiques shops.
Allain incorporated annual buying trips to Europe, making the shop a landmark enterprise for unique and unusual items. Allain personally selects items for their character and beauty, reflecting her taste for aged elegance.
